Introducing our

Our experts on hand 24/7

You receive more than secure machines connected to a world-class network; you get
a team of expert systems engineers at your disposal: leave the technicalities to us and get on with doing what you do best.

VIP explained:

At Positive Internet, we realise that true network and server
security requires much more than just a firewall. We know how our
technologies work together, and so we know how to prevent any
exploitable security holes at every link in the chain.

The public Internet can be a hostile environment in which to place
any server. This is why The Positive Internet Company takes security
very seriously. We work hard to protect your data integrity, be it from
the malign intent of outsiders, mistakes leading to data deletion or the
simple wear-and-tear of a busy hard drive.

Preventing Cracks

We run firewall systems on our routers to protect your site from
crackers and others who would attack your data. For some organisations,
this is the sum total of their precautionary measures. At Positive
Internet, we realise that true network and server security requires much
more than just a firewall. We know how our technologies work together,
and so we know how to prevent any exploitable security holes at every
link in the chain. We keep abreast of industry news and security
bulletins and engage with the GNU/Linux community in ascertaining and
solving security problems.

Guaranteed Service

We put our money where our mouth is. With our Professional and
Enterprise range of servers, your contract with us includes a Service
Level Agreement. This guarantees your uptime and means we pay you for
any unreasonable downtime. With The Positive Internet Company, we place a
sturdy mesh of safeguards around your server with full contingency, so
that even the worst case scenario is merely inconvenient rather than
disastrous.

Meticulous Security

We make sure that the technologies on your server are installed
securely. A common problem with co-located, off-the-shelf setups is that
every possible service is enabled. This gives the unfriendly intruder
any number of entry points into the server. At Positive Internet,
however, we tailor your platform from scratch to meet your specific
requirements. As such, your server only runs exactly what it needs. We
configure each piece of software meticulously so that any attacks will
be met with staunch resistance. To this end, we install a barrage of
sophisticated intrusion detection software. Our systems notice when
people are trying malevolently to probe your server. Their route across
the Internet to your machine is blocked automatically and their actions
logged. We then report the incident to the manager of the prober's
network and work to track down the culprit.

Multiple Backups

Positive Internet is just as fastidious about protecting your data
from corruption and accidental erasure. We keep up to three levels of
backup. Firstly, the RAID system on our Professional Server upwards
ensures that even if a disk crashes, its automatic mirror disk will
continue operating without a hitch. We will arrange to swap out the
failed drive at a convenient time for you, and no data will be lost at
all. Every managed server is backed up each night onto its completely
separate internal drive. That way, if you delete some files or make an
error, we can roll you back easily. Finally, we take weekly remote
network backups of your data and configuration. In the unlikely event
that your server fails completely, we will be able to reconstruct it on
one of our backup machines waiting in the wings. We can also arrange
off-site tape backups and can facilitate the automatic replication of
databases.
